JACKSON, MISS.
Jane Washington Sentenced for Per.
for Railroad Fare.

lsPEolAL TO THE APPEAL.l
JACKSON, Miss, February Sin the
Federal Court today, Jane Washing
ton, Of Vicksburg, was convicted of
pe'iury in the mat or OF a pension
case. Sho WAS sentenced to thirty
days imprisonment in the county
Jail and fined 5000.
Mrs. A. Fox, of Vicksburg, was
tried under an indictment for retail
lug without paying the United States
revenue license, and was acquitted.
There was an interesting case on
trial in this court, wherein the re-
ceiver OF the Vckeburg and Meridian
railroad is suing number Of promi-
neut citlzsns of Yazoo county for $1,000
for passenger fare for a large number
of negro laboreTs procured and brought
by said company for said citizens from
South Carolina last year, which fare it
is alleged was guaranteed by these cit.
izens to be paid. 1t appears that the
negroes we've deceived by the SCENTS
of the parties as to their destination,
they having left their homes 10 go to
Arkansas, and that it was repre-.
sented to them that they were
going there, but they were stopped at
this place, when they were met by
the Yazoo people, VINO proceeded to
divide them out among themselves,
whe 'eupon the negroes, finding out
the deception practiced on them, re-
fused to go to Yazoo and scattered
throughout this neighborhood. The
Yszoo people decline to pay for their
fare on the grounds that the deep.
ton and fraud said TO have been pract-
iced on the negroes by their agents, the
said railroad company.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.
Two East Tennessee Yaps Swap
Wives.
ESPECIAL TO THE APpEAL.I


KNOXVILLE, TENN, February s.
JACK Holt aud Lewis Thompson, liv-
ing on Black Ridge, eleven miles west
Of Knoxville, have exchanged wives,
much after the fashion of horse
swap. Holt came TO this county from
Kentucky about year ago and has a
history. He bought farm from G.
W. Thompson, father OF Lewis Thomp-
SOD, which he has never paid for. Old
man Thompson has since died, aud
the heirs notified Holt that he must
either pay up or move. He moved to
this city, bringing Mrs. Lewis Thomp-
son with him. Did Thompson kick ?
Oh, no; he Just went over aud had a
talk with Mrs. Holt, ADD she consented
to take the place Of the absent Mrs.
Thompson. Holt heard of it, and
moved back to the country and took
possession of Lewis Thompson's farm.
They will make legal exchange Of
farms, but how they are to get around
the trade in "bstter halves" is prob
lem. Holt has another wife now liv-
ing at Concord, whom he deserted
several yesrs ago in Kentucky.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-02-04

The PtdRters' journal, the organ OF
the Cotton Association, In this months
number, begins an earnest, vigorous
appeal to the farmers to show some
public spirit, some regard for the in
teress Of the class TO which they be-
long, by uniting for common action.
A number OF farmers in Mississippi
nave joined together and formed "The
Farmers' Cooperative Association,
No. l." as the nucleus OF the great
army OF sgriculturists necessity will
one day band together, II wisdom de-
lays until necessity lmpels. The Mis-
slssippi appeal points to the.apathy the
Southern farmers are rrianifesting I'm.
der circumstances that should stimu-
late their solicitude and induce them,
with stern determination, to unite and
struggle against adverse influences,
and compel opposition to submit to
their pressure and unylelding will
The farmer Ia beset with obstacles, but
those obstacles are not DEGREES Of fate,
and energy and perseverance,
can conquer them. The worst
obstacle lies in the farmers
own listless apathy, that endures and
complains but doss not resist. An in
stance Of the truth OF this Is seen in
the success Of the Cotton Oil Trust in
reducing the price Of cotton seed.
Those engaged in that project stood
together shoulder TO shoulder. The
cotton gro wers had not an atom OF
cohesion about them. Singly they
stood, like sheep scattered in field.
One by one they vera ordered to
"stand and deliver" one by one they
were seized and done for. They had
no union, had never learned how to
step to time aud stand firm in aerrled
Tanks as farmers. Therefore they had
no power OF resistance; they we're
despoiled as readily as the passengers
in an unprotected omnibus, and down
wen; their seed to IS a ton. Is there
not something contemplate in the
whole body OF cotton growers being
overcome and eased OF considerable
portion Of their income, and yet hav-
ing no power to repel, no organi-
cation with which even to re.
sist assault This cotton seed calam.
ity, for such 1t Is, is not the
only instance where the whole body of
our farmers are suffering for want OF
combination, of the power that comes
from mutual support. The loss that
comes through the reduced price Of
cotton seed 10 a heavy price to pay for
having neglected to unite and cooper
ate. Is II to produce no effect, arouse

Rtirring address in the Planters, then

Cotton Oil Trust attack and piliage
enough to stir your blood, brighten
your eyes and eteel your souls with the
might and ti,mueSs of manhood2 The
easy conquest the Oil Trust secured

CANADA AND THE rARIEF

fisheries is assuming an unpleasant
tone, and the whole difficulty has
hinged upon our laundering tariff.

ing American labor that they must
have tax on foreign fish. These
sham patriots, like many other pro-
tectors OF American labor, sre careful
to employ as little American labor az
possible. They prefer to employ Can
adiars because they can be had for
lower wages than Americans require.
They want American industry to be
protected by taxation, but they want
liberty to buy bait and other supplies
in Canada, where they cost less, not
having paid American protection tax
They want, also, to buy Canadian coal
for their steamers, for that pays nc
protection tax. Is it possible that
With such instances before them

BASE BALL CAMPAIGN,
The Games tho Coming Season to be More
Exciting than Ever.

The Games tho Coming Season to be More
! Exciting than Ever.
/ WASHINGTON, March 2G.-N. E. Young.
president Of the National League OF Base
Ball Clubs, was interviewed by sn Asso-
clated Press reporter to-day on the out
look for the approaching campaign. The
season, Mr.. Young thinks, will doubtless
oe the most interesting one since the
formation of the League in 1876. He as
I signs for this belief various reasons:
/. The clubs Of the parent organization
are more equal in playing strength thsn
they have ever been before.
,. Almost every team has secured at
least three or four young and ambitious
players who have made good records in
minor associations, but whose ability in
the league is predetermined and therefore
an unknown quantity.
.. Tie new rules adopted in the league
at It's fall meeting were so radicaI-uot to
say revolutionary-tnat their effects on
/ the various players will be a sub
Ject OF considerable speculation and
comment as to which players will benefit
by them, and whom they will most
seriously injure.
The batting this season, he saws, will
|
be recorded than since the primitive
days of straight pitching, and while this
will naturally tend to make contests
more interesting and exciting to specta-
tors 1t will also prOlOng the games very
considerably. The very tlresome pitcher
and catcher games which occurred too
frequently last sea on will not be
In order this year. It was principally for
this reason he says that the rules were
amended and so many restrictions placed
upOn the pitcher. game under the new
rules, Mr.. Young contends, in which a
pitcher can hold an opposing batter down
10 i've hits, Will be as rare and considered
as marvellous this season, as one in which
the pitcher retired an opposing team with
one base hit last season.
"DO you anticipate any trouble with
the new rules" asked the reporter.
81 do not. These rules were not form
ullted until they were thoroughly dis
cussed in all their bearings by the man
ayers and most prominent PLAYERS in the
profession. OF course they will be ex-
perimental to certain extent, but they
are IL many respects superior to the old
rules, and will cOnduCe very materially
to make the contests more exciting and
attractive. If, however, after a salts
factory trial they should prove failure,
which do not expect, they can be easily
changed by q special meeting Of the
league committee, which has full power
to make whatever changes may be deemed
eXpedient."
Mr.. Young declined to express an
opinion as to which club would win the
championship, on the ground that his
position was neutral one, and should
hA LAO IA
of certain club it might create dissatis-
faction. The Washington Club, he saws,
has made greater Improvement during the
winter months than any other league
club, and he expects to see it make a good
record this season. ~
